Arts Ed-spiration for #artsedweek2017

As our friend Carrie Holbo over at the National Endowment for Arts put it, the arts matter because, “they are like a gift from one soul to another – whether it’s a joyful, simple gift like a child’s drawing, or a play or novel that makes you think and hurt and wish and feel, the arts help us understand ourselves and each other.” The gift arts education often presents are the skills needed down the road to land a dream job in any field.

No seriously. According to Bloomberg job skills companies want but can’t get include:

Strategic thinking

Creative problem-solving

Leadership skills

Communication skills

For some people, the these skills are intuitive. But often these skills need a little coaxing. That’s where arts education becomes extremely valuable. 

The Indiana Arts Commission utilizes arts integration in it’s new(ish-2014) arts education program Partnering Arts, Community, and Education (PACE). A key component to PACE is measuring student growth and helping to promote arts education’s impact by way of student achievement. If you’re a numbers person, take a look at the 2015-2016 Project Report. If you prefer the power of story we’ve got you covered below:

Strategic thinking

Sneaky Teaching McKinley Primary Center with the Robinson Community Learning Center Theatre Class South  Bend

Working with 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders teaching artist Christy Burgess collaborates with the classroom teacher to integrate the arts into everyday lessons. One such example: students were learning about the weather and in order to make cumulonimbus clouds more memorable Christy had the students create their own newscaster skits. The key to engaging the students here was putting them in charge of the learning, letting them lead the way and develop their own theatre scripts using skills and techniques Christy had introduced earlier in the year. Jennifer (grant manager) cleverly refers to this method as “sneaky teaching” and says, “using the whole body to find the joy in learning” is really at the root of their PACE programming.

Creative problem solving

Creating Movement South Wayne Elementary School with the Fort Wayne Dance Collective Dance Class Fort Wayne

The students were really struggling to be in close proximity with each other and maintain good behavior. About half way into the school year as part of their PACE workshops the students read “Seven Blind Mice” together. As a follow up activity, teaching artist Allison Ballard wanted the student to dance the story with their bodies. She had the students get in to small groups and create one of the key story characters, an elephant, with their bodies. Next, Allison decided to kick it up a notch with quick movement across the room, and you would’ve thought magic was happening.  All of a sudden all 30 kids were moving around the classroom, working together in one large group to create this elephant. They were engaged, interested, and not put off by being in a small space together.

Leadership

Breakthrough Moment Pine Elementary School with Arts for Learning Dance Class Michigan City

There was one boy in class who didn’t participate. He would watch and smile but didn’t want to do any activity himself then after the first performance he wanted to try. Now he’s a leader in class. The program created a safe environment for him to express himself and step outside his box. 

– Melli Hoppe, Teaching Artist

Communication skills

Follow the Drinking Gourd Pine Elementary School with Arts for Learning Dance Class Michigan City

The kids were learning about the Underground Railroad in their 4th grade social studies class and teaching artist Melli Hoppe worked with the students to choreograph a dance to go along with the lesson. The dance illustrating the folk song “Follow the Drinking Gourd” and the concepts of coded messages by song during the times of the Underground Railroad. The students choreographed the dance and praticed over and over during their time with Melli, improving both their dancing skills as well as their knowledge of U.S. history. The students were so excited by what they learned and proud of the dance they created with each other that during the school’s family night they taught their parents the dance!
